Established workplaceAccepts general applications
A standing programme or a past notice shows this place uses these workers. No current opening is confirmed.
What we found: Quivira publishes a resident volunteer program with RV infrastructure and a notably explicit household-hours rule. At least one resident must contribute the stated minimum service, and the minimum attaches to the RV rather than automatically doubling for a couple. Duties vary, with weekend visitor-center staffing identified as likely work. The page describes two pads as program capacity, not two openings. Minimum and maximum stay limits exist but are not specified, so an applicant needs the actual placement agreement.
